The Initiative to Learn Quran Online

These days many Muslims want to learn Quran online. It is highly commendable if any person, irrespective of the religion wants to learn the Quran. Of course, we cannot limit the Quran learning to the Muslims only because it is a book of Hidaya for the entire humankind. It is in fact good if any person who is not a Muslim want to learn Quran online.
Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) said,
“The best among you is the one who learnt Quran and taught it to others”.
Why do people these days want to learn Quran online? Well the answer is simple. The world has advanced technologically and literally, everything has been shifted online. People shop online. The social networking is online. Therefore, it is not really a surprise if someone wants to learn Quran online.
We must appreciate if someone wants to learn Quran online. To learn Quran online, one can take the following steps.
1. First, one must understand what Quran really is. The Muslims should consider the Quranic definition of the book. Two verses about the Quran are given below. Remember it is the faith of the Muslims to believe the words of the Quran to be the words of Allah Almighty.

“And with Him are the keys (treasures) of the unseen. None but He knows them; and He alone knows what is in the land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls but He knows it, and there is not a grain in the darkness (recess)of the earth, nor anything wet or dry but is in a clear Book” (Holy Quran 6:59)
“We have not neglected anything in the Book” (Holy Quran 6:38)

2. Of course, the non-Muslims do not have faith in the Quran as the Muslims do. In fact, this is what differentiates the Muslims and the non-Muslims. However, if non-Muslims want to learn Quran online, it is very appreciable. The Muslims should encourage him or her. The other people should not become judgmental.

3. A person must decide his or her approach to the learning of the Quran. This is because there are several approaches to learn Quran online. For example, one can arrange for the self-help or the self-learning sessions. Other than that, one can arrange for a freelance Quran tutor. Alternatively, one can register with a reputable Quran teaching website to learn Quran online.

4. The best approach to learn Quran online is to register oneself with a reputable online Quran school. Such schools offer classes for Arabic script understanding, Quran recitation, Quran memorization, Quran translation, and the Quran explanation. One can register in the courses that one desires. A good thing about these schools is that they offer trial classes free of any cost.

The schools that offer the live tutoring session are always better than those who just send workbooks or recitation recording through email.
We should pray that Allah gives every human being a chance to come across the Hidaya and to take an initiative to learn the Quran.
